Mingus Day #72. 5.75 x 5.75 in. watercolor on Arches 140 lb. cold pressed paper. © 2018 Sheila Delgado.
Mingus was missing today. Cloudy and hinting at rain. A few small drops here and there. Poked through just before sunset. Just before the sky turned a weird shade of mauve.

The true use of art is, first, to cultivate
the artist’s own spiritual nature.

A Good artist has less time than ideas.
Martin Kippenberger
Don’t think about making art, just get it done.
Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad,
whether they love it or hate it.
While they are deciding, make even more art.
Andy Warhol
A wonderful giveaway gift arrived! I am the lucky recipient of a copy of Botanical Mandalas, Louise Gale’s new book! I can’t wait to dive into it, but it will have to wait until the 100 is over. Hop on over to take a peek inside. Many of you a familiar with Louise from her wonderful Global Art Swap.
This book is gorgeous. It is about art, and building a deeper connection with nature. And flowers, and MORE flowers!
Thank you Louise, for sharing your art with the world. For being an inspiration to so many. And for providing opportunities for new artists to share their art with others!
Thank you Louise, for my lovely copy of your beautiful book!!

First off – How could you pick me for the quote challenge? – I don’t do quotes! Now I am actually going to have to do some searching – groan. And, then I have to come up with three names of people who write blogs – wait! – I need 9 names which is totally impossible as I don’t follow that many people. Well I will do the best I can. Your painting and photos of Mingus are very interesting. – have a good day.
LOL, I know… 9 bloggers? Nine bloggers who do quotes??? Well, I figured you have so much going on, that you must have some new quillings or paintings or plantings to share. And that is half the post right there. And I admire your work, so I thought I would enjoy the quotes you would decide to post.
Hope you have a good day to Val, EVEN if it means hunting down a quote. LOL 🙂
Hahah! I love your response to the challenge, Val! Totally honest!
Hahaha 😉
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos of Mingus.
Thanks for taking a look Carole 🙂
